I travelled with my sister to the Caparena for the first week of October and we were basically looking to get away from it all. I was a bit nervous after we had booked as we had the half board (what if the food was awful and we had to eat there every night?), I was worried about the train... More

We stayed for a beach holiday at the Caparena Hotel in August 2011 for 6 nights. After a fairly lengthy trip by road from Catania Airport and almost within view of the hotel, there is a dogleg junction in the busy road where an accident had just occured. We eventually got passed and fortunately, there seemed to be no injuries.... More

We have just returned from a fabulous relaxing break staying at this Hotel - The Management have it running like clockwork and the staff are all very polite and happy to help. One critique was the extortionate cost of beverages at the Beach Bar. 3 Euros for a can of Tonic water. Having read some of the reviews concerning the... More

A beautiful Hotel set in exotic gardens with its own private beach.The pool was warm and large enough to do some serious swimming.Towels were provided for the pool and beach.Excellent food served mainly from the beach restaurant looking across the bluest of seas.It certainly lived up to all our expectations.The room was cool and spacious with a balcony and sea...

Just back home from Taormina in Sicily. Stayed at the Caparena Hotel and had a lively time. The hotel claimes 4 stars,.but isn,t realy, (I don,t know who comes up with these staring systems or what they base them on!) This, however, isn,t reflected in the standards, the Hotel is very well run, very organised, allways clean and tidy and... More

This Hotel does not deserve 4 Star status.Service in Dinnig area extremely poor, food cold, bad location for elderly and young children, despite having a Bus to take guests in to main town there is a main road directly in front of hotel with no walk ways.Good luck if you managed to speak with Manager to complain.. Hotel very clean... More

We had a junior suite with sea view. The view was beautiful except for one thing.. They don't tell you that there is a train track between the hotel and the beach which could be annoying. The service was ok. Coming from the US we expect certain things like bringing spoons for the coffee. Overall, service in Italy sucks. They... More

This was not our usual holiday - previous escapades have involved road trips across Europe - Hungary/Slovenia have all come under the microscope with varying degrees of success. This year however the better half was persuaded to get on a plane and revisit a destination previously travelled to 30 years ago. Given party size & ages options were limited &... More

We enjoyed our stay in this hotel very much, all the staff were lovely and very friendly. We payed 80euros extra for a week to have a sea view suite which was light and very comfortable with a lovely balcony. Ideally located on the beach free sun beds and a free bus service up to the town, we never had... More
